It is no exaggeration to call Joachim Wissler one of the most creative chefs in Germany. His mastery is apparent in every single dish he makes, each one a perfectly judged, multi-facetted composition full of intense tastes and, of course, using the very highest quality produce. As you would expect when faced with such fine food, the service is also of the very highest quality and comes complete with excellent wine suggestions.
